"I believe a more diversified credit ecosystem where banks and non-bank lenders both play meaningful roles is inherently more resilient."

Strip away the “public” or “private” from the credit markets and what remains is capital extended to worthy borrowers in exchange for the promise of repayment with interest.

In this article, I outline why I believe a more diversified credit ecosystem—where banks and non-bank lenders both play meaningful roles—is inherently more resilient than one dominated by highly leveraged, tightly interconnected institutions, and why we should welcome private credit's growth as a countercyclical complement to bank lending.
